Also, I am pretty sure they are designed to look just like the Smash trophies! Which is cool. Not all of them are Smash, though. You can tell the different sets by the coloring and texture of the base the figurine stands upon. Some are from the Super Mario set (red base), which don't offer trainable characters like the Smash ones do. But, say... Toad, when I use his, I get to play another mode in Captain Toad which is a really fun hide and seek game. You have to find a tiny 8-bit Toad hidden somewhere in each level and as you progress further the Toad starts to run away from you! It's very cool.

Though I will admit the amiibo functionality does leave a bit to be desired, especially if you're not as into the collecting aspect as I am.

Here are the two newest, along with their buddy Kirby. They're a little sad the last few days though.

Far better than my collection but I only have 7. Mostly got mine for Mario Maker also a couple for when the misses played the animal cross home designer game. My daughter loves them though will roar at the charizard and beat her cheat at the Donkey Kong etc.
